Good stone From : Queer deposit.

UOOu SCOnO EIOn queer DepObAts
A stree paving contractor has just en-
gagged 100000 worth Of Dakota paving
stone. The prairie region OF Dakota is
about the last place we would think OF
going to for stone, and yet the deposit
whence this stone is taken is said to be
most wonderful and magnificent forma-
ton. 1t is called q quartzite granite, soft
when quarried and easily sawn out, but
hardening into O mass fiinty and indies
tructible and non absorbent. 1t is pro-
nounced by experts perfect paving
stone. But the strangest thing about it il
the formation from which 1t is taken:
This is found about two feet under the
prairie soil surrounding Sioux Falls for
miles and miles, and when the thin soil,
with its stunted growth of grass, is strip
ped of, there lies the rock, as smooth
and level as a floor. The tract contains
something like thirty square miles, and
the deposit is several hundred feet thick.
Through the center of the tract runs tie
Big Sioux river, whose channel is merely
rift In the rock-a crack formed by The
partial splitting of the whole mass. The
channel is in shape just like letter v,
and the surface of the deposit extends
back for several miles precisely at right
angles with the sides of the crevice.-

Good Advice 10 small Bow.

Parents should make 1t point to In
struct their boys against the wiles OF the
itinerant dentist who coaxes the little fel-
lows to serve his purpose in the exhibition
of the unriva1ed virtues of his dentifrice.
With pleasant smile he invites lad in the
crowd about his wagon to take position
by his side and then presses the thought
less little fellows head against his chest
and bids him to open his mouth. Next he
rubs the boys displayed teeth with rag
dipped in acid, taking of the possible
tartar and shining the surface The pro-
cess over, and some Of the crowd being
pleased with the result, sale follows.
Then another boy is selected for his VIC
tim. Possibly within the space of three
or four weeks the acid will have begun its
deadly work, and in little while the en-
amel is destroyed and decay begins. New

GROWTH OF ABIc Book. When Web
ster's Unabridged was first published in
one volume, it was a comparatively
small book. Some years after an adj
dition was made of 1900 Pictorial illus
trations, A Table of aynonyns, and an
Appendix Of New Words that had come
into use. Afew years later came an en-
tirely new revised edition Of larger size,
with 5000 Pictorial Illustrations, then,
after interval of a few years, Biograrh
ical Dictionary of nearly 10000 Names
and Supplement of nearly 5000 New
Words were added, and there has come
a new and most valuable addition, A
Gazetteer of the World, of over $4,000
Titles. The work is now not only the
Dictionary, par excellence, but Bio
graphical Dictionary, a Gazetteer Of the
World, and a great many other good
things in its many valuable Tables.
